Secret Sea Cove

A pristine beach typically inaccessible by foot. The soundtrack of seabirds, ebbing waves and a gently flowing stream. A few cows grazing on the bluffs overhead. Platter after platter of thoughtfully prepared seafood plucked from the water that morning. It doesn’t get much better than this. Plus, guest chef Jessica Yarr will be barefoot in the beach kitchen cooking up a feast of her famous Eastern European fare. Her Santa Cruz pop-up Chicken Foot has earned much acclaim over the last couple years, known for its delectable combination of traditional Ukrainian flavors and colorful California produce. Dig your toes into the sand and stick around for dessert — she might bring some of her famous chocolate beet cake, or perhaps a batch of chamomile doughnuts.
